Psalm 44:16

The Scriptures 1998

Because of the voice of the slanderer and blasphemer, Because of the enemy and avenger.

See the chapter Copy

Out of the mouth of babes and infants You have founded strength, Because of Your adversaries, To put an end to enemy and avenger.

Remember this: the enemy has reproached יהוה, And a foolish people has despised Your Name.

O Elohim, how long would the adversary reproach? Would the enemy despise Your Name forever?

“Incline Your ear, O יהוה, and hear. Open Your eyes, O יהוה, and see. And hear all the words of Sanḥ

And repay to our neighbours sevenfold Their reproach, into their bosom, With which they have reproached You, O יהוה.

If I am wrong, woe to me! And if I am righteous, I would not lift up my head – filled with shame and seeing my grief!
